mprovements in Bed- 1 Which extend downwardly through said loops, With the bodies-of the longitudinal. strands next adjacent the loops resting on said loops. 'The numerals 12 12 designate the border Wires, lying at each side margin of the springs, over the side rails 4', having their ends inserted loosely into the coil springs 7 at the four corners of the. springs, and their body portions betweensaid springs bent outwardly to increase the spring surface laterprings.

The reference numerals l3 designate transverse stay Wires having at each end a hook 14, which hooks and longitudinal locking the said loops and crimps against relative vertical movements and at all times holding the loops and cramps together, under tension,in order to prevent catching and pinching of the ma tress or bed clothing.
